Greece has a Mediterranean climate with lots of sunshine, mild temperatures and hardly any precipitation.
The geographical location of the country, its rugged and mostly mountainous relief and its distribution between the mainland and the sea mean that there can be great differences in the Greek climate. Winters are very mild in lowland areas, and snow and ice are very rare. Many mountains, however, are usually covered with snow. A common phenomenon is the occurrence of different climatic conditions during the same season (e.g. mild heat in coastal areas and cool temperatures in mountainous regions).
In summer, the dry hot days are cooled by seasonal winds known as Meltemi, while generally lower temperatures prevail in the mountainous regions. The Meltemi will accompany you on your luxury charter very often! It is a dry and cooling north wind that involves a good visibility. It blows mainly in summer (from June to September), but can also occur in May or October. This wind, which is very pleasant for sailors, usually blows in the afternoon and subsides at sunset and can reach 5 (sometimes even 7) Bft. Sometimes it can happen that the Meltemi blows continuously during the day and at night. This peculiarity can even last up to 10 days. When you explore the Ionian Sea from Corfu or Lefkas with your luxury yacht, a reliable north-west wind called Maestro may convoy you. It is predominant in this region from mid-May to early October. In the spring and autumn there can also occur south-west winds in Greece.
Average temperatures fluctuate between 5°degrees and 14°degrees in the winter months, while temperatures reach of up to 30°degrees in high summer.
The sailing season in Greece starts in early April and can last until the end of November. The high season extends from mid-July to early September. Temperatures are high these months, but the cooling Meltemi wind blows in the Aegean. September is a very popular month for sailors because on one hand, there is great sailing weather and on the other hand, the temperatures are very inviting.
